ST. LOUIS MAN SELECTED FOR WHEEL SPIN

A St. Louis (63123)* man’s Missouri Lottery ticket was drawn to make him the 17th contestant in the "Fun & Fortune Wheel Spin" for a chance to win up to $250,000. On Oct. 18, the Lottery drew 10 finalists from "Fun & Fortune" wheel spin entries submitted the previous week. Each finalist will receive $500, and one of those 10 finalists- Richard Steger of St. Louis (63123)* - was drawn to be a contestant in the wheel spin on Nov. 15.
The nine other finalists selected in the first preliminary drawing to win $500 are: Kim Winkelmann of De Soto, Janet Breneiser of Fenton, Stella Goucher of Winston, Don Martin of Carlsbad, CA, Hannah Patrick of Sedalia, Sissy Wall of Pacific, Tina Houston of Warrenton, Amber Hall-Burton of Warrensburg and Lucy Oker of St. Louis (63116)*.
The new "Fun & Fortune Wheel Spin," which replaced the televised "Fun & Fortune" game show, offers players more chances to win and bigger prizes.
For a chance to win $500 and to spin the wheel, players need to buy a new $2 "Fun & Fortune" Scratchers ticket. If the ticket is a winner and the prize won is ENTRY, the ticket should be mailed to the Lottery’s headquarters to be placed in a weekly drawing. Each week, 10 of these ENTRY tickets will be drawn, and those winners will receive $500 each. In addition, one of the 10 preliminary winners will be drawn for a chance to spin the wheel and win from $2,500 to $250,000.
The "Fun & Fortune Wheel Spin" will be held at the Lottery’s Jefferson City office at 1823 Southridge Drive and is open to the public. Each monthly "Wheel Spin" event will also be streamed on the Lottery’s Web site.
